Download or read book Development of a High Precision Weigh in motion Axle Load Scale written by Terry Bergan and published by The Centre. This book was released on 1991 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987 a test was conducted of a high precision, low speed Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that could accurately weigh vehicle axles and be used for enforcement purposes at weight scale facilities. A complete prototype system was installed for testing and demonstration at Clavet, Saskatchewan. The system was checked against weights obtained from the static scale in use at the site over nine months. Two additional systems were installed in British Columbia and were monitored over five months, during which the system was subjected to a variety of hostile conditions. This report describes the technical development of the in-road hardware and the data acquisition electronics; the operational characteristics; prototype testing; and the B.C. sites and monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state-of-the-art, Advanced Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) system has been designed, installed, and tested on the west bound side of Interstate I-75/I-40 near the Knox County Weigh Station. The project is a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and International Road Dynamics, Inc. (IRD) sponsored by the Office of Uranium Programs, Facility and Technology Management Division of the Department of Energy under CRADA No. ORNL95-0364. ORNL, IRD, the Federal Highway Administration, the Tennessee Department of Safety and the Tennessee Department of Transportation have developed a National High Speed WIM Test Facility for test and evaluation of high-speed WIM systems. The WIM system under evaluation includes a Single Load Cell WIM scale system supplied and installed by IRD. ORNL developed a stand-alone, custom data acquisition system, which acquires the raw signals from IRD's in-ground single load cell transducers. Under a separate contract with the Federal Highway Administration, ORNL designed and constructed a laboratory scale house for data collection, analysis and algorithm development. An initial advanced weight-determining algorithm has been developed. The new advanced WIM system provides improved accuracy and can reduce overall system variability by up to 30% over the existing high accuracy commercial WIM system.

This book was released on 1989 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986, International Road Dynamics was contracted by the Transportation Development Centre to develop and test a piezoelectric weigh-in-motion (WIM) system that would weigh, classify and count vehicles, and continuously collect data on traffic operating at normal highway speeds. A full-scale system was installed for testing and demonstration purposes on six lanes at a site on Highway 7 north of Toronto. A first test site for the piezoelectric cables was provided and prepared by the Saskatchewan Department of Highways and Transportation; the full system demonstration site was by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The work included the design and construction of prototype electronic hardware to gather signals from the piezoelecric cables and other system components. Software was developed to interpret the cable signals and to provide a user-friendly method on monitoring the scale output. The weigh-in-motion scale could be accessed remotely using a standard computer terminal and telephone modem. Full system tests found that the piezoelectric WIM reliably measures any vehicle weight normally encountered on North American highways. It classifies vehicle types and provides weight measurements with an accuracy comparable to that of existing platform WIM systems. Weight measurement variance, however, is double that of platform WIM scales. Its cost is about 25% that of conventional systems.
